Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

Chapter 2174: 930, Heaven and Earth Wind and Thunder List!

Xu Zhichu was not a partial cultivator.

The Sword Dao he practiced harbored an inheritance unknown to outsiders.

However, he had not even made a move against Han Muye in front of the Sword Nurturing Hut before his identity was revealed through a single statement.

“Initiating with the stance of Heavenly Prowess, it seems to be the inheritance of the Wuyue Sword Sect. Unfortunately, you made three mistakes right from the start.”

With just this sentence, Xu Zhichu dared not even draw his sword.

The Wuyue Sword Sect, one of the Thirty-Six Sword Sects that branched from the All-Encompassing Sword Sect twenty thousand li away.

It could be said that within a million li, the Wuyue Sword Sect is one of the strongest remnants of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect’s heritage.

Others, like the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, do not even have a single cultivator at the Extreme Dao Realm.

Many more have already vanished into the river of time.

Han Muye had not only pointed out the starting gesture in Xu Zhichu’s sword techniques but also exposed the flaws within his sword moves.

Back when he was training, an elder of the Prime Origin Realm in his sect had once said, due to his personality, there were indeed flaws in his sword moves.

Yet that Prime Origin Realm elder couldn’t point out where exactly the flaws in his sword moves were, nor how to change them.

A single sentence from Han Muye had left Xu Zhichu standing outside the Sword Nurturing Hut.

Although he had been cultivating there for less than a month, Xu Zhichu already understood that this was the greatest opportunity of his life.

Because in this one month, he not only completed the missing parts of his sword techniques but had also remedied all his previous flaws.

His Sword Dao Strength had increased at least fivefold compared to a month ago.

Now, he no longer regarded the Extreme Dao Realm as worthy of his attention.

Only those who had entered the Dao, who controlled Primordial Force, possessing their own Dao of heaven and earth, were the ones he aimed to challenge.

Momentarily, the blood qi around Fang Langsheng condensed, with a murderous aura charging towards Han Muye.

No disciple of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect could withstand this torrent of blood qi.

A gleam sparkled in Xu Zhichu’s eyes, yet he did not make a move.

It was merely Extreme Dao Realm after all.

He didn’t bother to act.

As for blocking that person, it was even easier.

Xu Fengran, standing in front of Han Muye, had higher cultivation and stronger combat strength than Xu Zhichu himself.

Even he, whose cultivation and combat strength had increased so much, was no match for the sword maniac Xu Fengran.

And Xu Fengran had never managed to withstand a full sword strike from Han Muye, the sect leader of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect.

Not a single sword strike.

The brilliance and grandeur of that Sword Dao Strength was simply unblockable.

“What a clown,” Xu Zhichu shook his head lightly.

In everyone’s eyes, that blood qi struck a shining silver sword edge.

“Hum—”

The sword edge vibrated, shattering the blood qi.

In the next instant, the mutated beast that had materialized above Fang Langsheng’s head charged, leaping towards Xu Fengran.

The moment the beast appeared, the surrounding thousand zhang became ice-cold, and cultivators in the Entering Dao Realm and even the Breakthrough Path Realm felt their blood qi freeze.

This was clearly the power of someone who had taken control of Source Energy and could move the power of heaven and earth at will.

That was the power of the Extreme Dao Realm.

Xu Fengran watched the beast approach him, let out a cold snort, and a flash of impatience crossed his face.

He brandished his sword with one strike, turning the blade into thousands of paths.

Each strand of sword light blazed like fire, and the Power of Fire on them stirred the void surrounding the sword edge.

“Crack—”

The collision of Water and Fire Forces visibly twisted the power of heaven and earth, distorting it.

This was the struggle of the Source Energy of this realm of heaven and earth.

Only a power above the Breakthrough Path could achieve such an effect.

A look of astonishment replaced the arrogance on Fang Langsheng’s face.

“Extinguishing Dao, no, it’s Extreme Dao Realm!”

Seeing that fiery sword light, Fang Langsheng exclaimed in a hushed voice.

Only the Extreme Dao Realm could clash and remain unvanquished against his own Extreme Dao Realm power.

“Boom—”

With one sword strike, Xu Fengran shattered the beast before him, his face showing a hint of disappointment.

He sheathed his long sword and turned to look at Han Muye.

“Master, is this all the strength of the Cloud Heaven Dao Gate?”

“That’s it? That’s the extent of your strength!”

The strongest sect within a hundred thousand li, and yet to be humiliated like this!

Fang Langsheng’s face flushed with rage, and with a low shout, a pair of golden gauntlets materialized on his hands.

In the Great Pantheon Plane, most cultivators pursue blood essence and physical strength, even those cultivating the Sword Dao prefer using sheer brute force.

At that moment, Fang Langsheng, his fists covered in gauntlets, hurled a punch from ten zhang away at Xu Fengran.

This punch, the strike of an Extreme Dao Realm powerhouse, was simple in technique but exuded an unstoppable force that seemed impossible to resist.

A stream of Power of Frost transformed into a giant dragon and collided head-on with Xu Fengran.

An expression of annoyance appeared on Xu Fengran’s face. He raised his hand, and two swords slid out of their scabbards simultaneously.

“Shish—”

The two swords crossed and shredded the frost dragon into pieces.

The scattered Ice-cold Power stirred the surrounding Origin, causing it to surge and billow once again.

“You, you’re the sword maniac, Xu Tianfeng, ranked three hundred and fourteen on Yunzhou’s Heaven and Earth Wind and Thunder List!”

Fang Langsheng’s eyes widened as he stared at the two swords in Xu Fengran’s hands, exclaiming in shock.

Yunzhou.

A land spanning thirty million li, all under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou.

Yunzhou has four lists: Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, documenting the names of Yunzhou’s mighty cultivators.

Each list contains three hundred and sixty individuals.

The Heavenly List comprises those in the Life and Death Realm.

The Earth List contains masters of the Yinyang Realm.

Those on the Wind List are required to possess the cultivation of the Qiankun Realm.

The Thunder List records all masters of the Prime Origin Realm.

Being listed on any of these four lists means every person is a true powerhouse among those in their level throughout the thirty million li of Yunzhou.

The Cloud Heaven Dao Gate controls a territory of one hundred thousand li and has many experts within, with two from the Prime Origin Realm presiding. However, they are still far from the figures on the Heaven and Earth Wind and Thunder List.

Fang Langsheng’s cry of astonishment echoed across the landscape.

Whether it was the various masters in front of the mountain gate or the intermediate Sword Sect disciples in front of the Sword Nurturing Hut, all widened their eyes.

The All-Encompassing Sword Sect actually had a Wind and Thunder List master overseeing it!

Such a personage, it was rare to see one in a whole lifetime.

“I only saw two masters from the Wind and Thunder List clash fifty years ago in a grand battle at Amitabha Peak.”

“I’ve seen a Wind List master from afar, but I won’t mention his name.”

In front of the mountain gate, there was a wave of sentiment.

Who could have imagined that the All-Encompassing Sword Sect could have such a master.

“No wonder the All-Encompassing Sword Sect is fearless against the Cloud Heaven Dao Gate!”

Someone murmured in a low voice, their expression fluctuating.

The Cloud Heaven Dao Gate only had two from the Prime Origin Realm. Naturally, the All-Encompassing Sword Sect wouldn’t fear them, having a Thunder List master in their midst.

In front of the mountain gate, these various masters exchanged glances, all showing a look of profound meaning.

In front of the Sword Nurturing Hut, Fang Langsheng trembled all over, his face as pale as ash as he looked at Xu Fengran, who held two swords in his hands.

He could never have imagined that he had just crossed hands with a Thunder List powerhouse.

With his strength, a single sword strike would suffice to slay him.

“You’ve got the wrong person.” Xu Fengran’s expression was calm as he sheathed his swords, and then he walked up to Han Muye.

“Master, should I kill him or let him go?”

These words nearly made Fang Langsheng’s legs give out.

Han Muye waved his hands dismissively and looked towards Fang Langsheng, “Director Fang, today you came to our All-Encompassing Sword Sect, and we treated you with all due respect, didn’t we?”

Did we treat you with respect?

Fang Langsheng nodded vacantly.

“Director Fang, we had a pleasant conversation and you were reluctant to leave. However, due to many pressing sect affairs, we had to part ways, isn’t that right?” Han Muye said with a light laugh.

Again, Fang Langsheng nodded.

“Then, why haven’t you left?” Han Muye pointed towards the mountain path leading down.

As he turned to leave, Fang Langsheng’s legs were shaky and he stumbled, almost falling.

Watching his demeanor, Han Muye chuckled and shook his head, then surveyed his surroundings.

“After three days of rest, I will take you all on an experience.”

“Life or death will be your own responsibility.”
